OPT – The Official GED Practice Tests

These tests have been
developed by the GED Testing Service of ACE (American Council on
Education). These tests
contain questions, which are of the same standard as the actual tests.
The practice tests serve as an
excellent tool for determining an applicant’s capability of passing the
final examinations. These tests are available in
both paper and computerized formats. The package
contains six booklets. These pretest booklets cover the subject areas
of writing, reading, science, social sciences and math. Your local
testing center will be
able to guide you in procuring the
kit.

Pre-testing and
registration requirements vary as per the state where you are taking
your tests. It is mandatory for candidates to
appear for a pre-test in certain jurisdictions. The candidates have to
take these practice tests and attain the minimum required scores for
passing before sitting for the final
tests. Candidates who are not able to pass the practice tests may even
have to
attend a review course
before they can apply again to take the tests.

Why Free Tests?

The key to success is a
great deal of practice which can be achieved attempting a number of
practice tests. Taking free tests and practicing is a
very good option as there is no financial implication involved and you
can keep taking as many tests
as you want. The question that comes to one’s mind is that why would a
company invest in practice tests that are available free of cost. There
are mainly two reasons for this.
The first reason is that the websites
that offer free tests
require you to fill up a form before you register for taking the test.
The company rakes in money from the advertisements placed on the form
that you’re filling up. These advertisements may be for some preparatory
material or courses. Some websites invite you to enroll
for their online course or
buy some books and
software and the practice tests
come with it absolutely free. Actually it is not free of cost. The cost
has already been covered in the
book or the software that you’re buying.

No matter what the websites
claim, always remember that you can only take a practice test online and
not the
actual exam. For more
information on tests and
testing centers you can visit the official website of the American
Council
